Adding 7.5 grams of Sodium bisulfite to D23 gives you Microdol down to the
brown of the negs at 1:3 I see now on the internet and I've had in my notes
for decades. In a pinch it could be done volumetrically. Spoons instead of
scales.
The bisulfite slows down the developing process in effect doubling it.
For people who think this might be a good thing.
I was never all that sold on it.
Metol/Elon 7.5 grams
Sodium Sulfite 100 grams
Sodium bisulfite 7.5 grams
